Taking place from 29-30 September 2020, HETT, the UK’s leading healthtech and digital health event, will connect the entire healthtech and digital health ecosystem and be the destination of choice for healthcare organisations looking to adopt and invest in the digital revolution. Attracting 4,000 attendees and in excess of 140 exhibitors, HETT is the leading platform to connect digital, operational and clinical leadership and buyers from across the UK health sector with suppliers of new technology, services and innovations. With hundreds of face-to-face meetings onsite, endless networking and learning opportunities and interactive features, HETT is the must-attend UK healthtech event of 2020. In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the organisers of the event, GovNet, maintain that they have no plans to postpone or cancel HETT 2020, and will ensure that all sensible steps to make sure HETT 2020 proceeds safely and successfully. However, extra steps will be taken. In line with the World Health Organisation’s standard recommendations for the general public to reduce exposure to and transmission of a range of illnesses, HETT is introducing new measures at the show to increase the safety of all attendees. Hand sanitisers will now be provided at the registration desk at the events, in addition to hand sanitation already installed in all toilets and washrooms. Extra signage will also be noticeable around the event to promote high hygiene standards. A digital agenda HETT 2020 contains four main agenda streams, covering: Digitally Empowered Patients;
